RubyFlow - the community based companion site to Ruby Inside - has been on fire! I'm finding out about lots of new stuff on there that then gets included into Ruby Inside posts. It's the place to be if you want the most up to date Ruby and Rails news, but don't mind putting up with a bit of 'noise'.

It's time to thank Ruby Inside's excellent sponsors once again.

Slapp: A simple chat wall Merb tutorial is a perfect example of the sort of tutorial / guide that could encourage a lot of people to try out a new framework (as far as Merb is new, of course). It walks you through the process of developing a "chat wall" type application with Merb from start to finish (right from installing Merb to playing with the running application).

REST Client - Simple DSL / Ruby Library for Accessing REST Resources

February and March have proven to be bumper months for people becoming interested in sponsoring Ruby Inside. It's thanks to these people and companies that Ruby Inside is continuing to grow, as their support ensures that I can spend more time on the site. I'm hoping that I can use the resources these companies provide to take Ruby Inside to even better places by the end of 2008 and focus on more mini interviews, picking up the latest gossip at Ruby conferences, and developing better ways to share the latest Ruby and Rails news.
